And somebody just changed the permissions on that directory so that it is
no longer writable by members of the cygwin group.  In other words, when I
tried to use it this morning to upload bash-3.1-5, I got permissions
errors, whereas previously I had no problems.

$ ls -ld stage  # mtime is near when I used it to upload coreutils-5.94-5
drwxrwsr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 15 16:30 stage
$ ls -ld --time=ctime stage  # ctime reflects permissions change
drwxrwsr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 17 09:00 stage

cgf - care to fix it please?
